Casino workers laid off

More than a dozen jobs have been lost in Nova Scotia, effective immediately, at the Casino Nova Scotia locations in both Halifax and Sydney due to lack of business stemming from the sour economy. Now, granted, these may not have the same "heartstrings" reaction to some people as a mill closing or nurse layoffs, but you have to consider the fact that many people who work at the Casinos are low-income young people or students working part-time. Granted, it's "dozens of jobs lost" instead of the "hundreds" or "thousands" we've heard lately, but it's a sign of the times in a province that has a lot less reserves to keep it from crisis than a province like Ontario. And don't think more jobs aren't being lost constantly.
